I was a knight in the Middle Ages

Chapter 44 The Power of Silence

"Sister, look, I brought you this guy's head." Tony ran to Alice's tent excitedly, covered in blood.

"He gave it to you?" Alice couldn't believe it. She didn't believe her brother had the ability to catch the bandit leader.

"Sister, how could you not believe me? I chased him for three thousand miles before I caught him." Tony didn't care at all and had no shame at all.

"Forget it, no matter who caught him, we have finally cleared out the bandits in this area." Alice knew that this was only the first step, and there would be more difficult tasks to come.

"Did he ask you for anything?"

"My brother-in-law said that the credit should be given to me, and if there is a bonus, it should be given to him." Tony only wants the credit, and the bonus means nothing to him.

"Hmph! He wants bonuses and money. This is really not the spirit of a knight." Alice despised Alpha's behavior.

"Okay, okay, let's take a break today, and tomorrow we'll go to Qishan City to discuss the next work tasks." Alice still has a lot of work to deal with, such as arranging personnel and saving the wounded.

This shouldn't have been handled by Alice personally, but since the Grand Duke had made the decision, she would have to deal with all future casualties herself, so Alice had no choice but to take over.

……

"Lord Alpha, how come you suddenly lost your sword when you were fighting that guy today?" Lina leaned against Alpha's back, looking scared.

"I don't know either. I just felt that I suddenly lost all the strength in my hands." Alpha was now thinking about two things, the inexplicable loss of his sword and the sudden surge of strength during the battle. He didn't understand the reasons for these two things.

At this time, Alpha suddenly said: "Lina, practice sword with me again."

Alpha needed to know the truth, and since he had no clue, he had to find the truth in battle. Alpha guessed that this change was related to his first commandment, but he still didn't know what the specific ability was.

The protective equipment of the two remained the same, but their weapons were changed into wooden swords. Alpha and Lina started a fierce swordfight. The wooden swords of the two crossed in the air, and the moves were exquisite and powerful. Every confrontation was extremely tense.

Alpha tries to find the reason for his sudden surge in strength, while Lina pays close attention to Alpha's performance, trying to help Alpha find the problem.

While Alpha was competing in swordsmanship, he was paying attention to the changes in his body. Gradually, Alpha felt that his strength was slowly increasing, and he swung his sword again, slashing hard at Lina's attack.

At this moment, Alpha felt that his strength suddenly increased by more than double! Lina tried to block the attack with all her strength, but she was knocked back by Alpha and barely stood firm after hitting the tree next to her.

Lina looked at Alpha in surprise: "Lord Alpha, how come your power suddenly becomes so strong?" Alpha also felt that his power was unusually strong at that moment.

Alpha had been training in the same way as before, and he had not yet reached the intensity of his previous training. How could his strength increase so much? Alpha was puzzled.

"Let's do it again." The two started fighting again, and their swords were invincible. Even though it was icy and snowy, they were sweating profusely.

Just five minutes later, Alpha launched a powerful attack and knocked Lina away again.

"Five minutes of charging?" Alpha calculated silently.

"Lord Alpha, what's going on? What do you mean five minutes?" Lina was confused.

"Can you still fight with me?" Alpha just had some guesses that had to be verified through experiments.

"No problem, go ahead."

Alpha tried to find the law of this phenomenon. After many experiments, Alpha found that every time he fought with others, his strength would suddenly increase every five minutes, and this state could last for about three seconds at most.

Later I discovered that it was not necessary to fight, but to maintain a certain blood flow rate so that energy would continue to accumulate.

This sudden increase in power is related to the intensity of the battle. The stronger the battle, the more power is accumulated, but it takes at least five minutes to accumulate. The burst of power is proportional to the stored power, but inversely proportional to the duration. In other words, the strongest power can be obtained by bursting out at the moment of stored power. If the attack continues for three seconds, the power will weaken rapidly.

Alpha tried to master this power so that he could better exert his strength in battle. After a period of training, Alpha gradually discovered the secret of this power.

Every five minutes of low-intensity fighting, his body would undergo a special energy storage process, causing his strength to increase dramatically, which could last for about three seconds. Of course, five minutes was only the minimum energy storage time limit, and Alpha was studying the longest energy storage time, and at this time, Lina was already exhausted and could not continue fighting.

"Lord Alpha, let me train with you!" Rowling was very happy to cooperate with Alpha.

"Okay, then let's see how strong you are." Alpha still needs a lot of practice to find the limit of his strength.

Rowling's strength is second only to Tasli, but her strength is more comprehensive, integrating offense and defense, with almost no flaws, making her a good training target.

Alpha guessed that the emergence of this power might be related to his first commandment, similar to the "power of silence", which can store power by fighting in silence and burst out in silence.

But why must the energy be charged during combat, rather than during rest? Alpha tried to find the answer.

"Lord Alpha, why did your sword fall?" Suddenly, Alpha returned to the same state as before in the battle, and the sword in his hand fell involuntarily.

"It's okay, let's continue." Alpha picked up the wooden sword and continued to practice.

Twenty minutes later, Alpha's wooden sword fell to the ground again. Finally, Alpha understood the secret.

"With a minimum storage time of five minutes, you can accumulate tremendous strength. If you continue to store energy, your body's functions will steadily improve. But after reaching a limit, if you don't explode, it will be like a balloon with the cork pulled out, and all the energy will dissipate. The upper limit of storage time is twenty minutes." Alpha needs to further test his explosive power after storing energy to the limit.

After eighteen minutes of extreme training, Alpha's internal strength finally reached an unprecedented level.

"Rowling, step back." At this critical moment, Alpha swung his sword without hesitation. The sword light flashed, as fierce as a storm.

The entire training ground was destroyed in an instant by Alpha's powerful force, and the sound of the airflow burst was deafening. Everything around was destroyed, leaving only Alpha standing among the ruins.

The effect of extreme charging is amazing!

It was not until then that Alpha realized that he was exhausted and could only stand up with the help of Rowling.

Alpha couldn't help but recall the time when he defeated Bakuzan. It seemed to have only taken about ten minutes, but this time, it took him eighteen minutes. His strength and speed were more than ten times higher than before.

"Lord Alpha, your power is too terrifying!" If Rowling had not stepped back, Alpha's sword would have turned her into bloody mud.

"Is this the effect of extreme charging?" Alpha was deeply moved.

"Lord Alpha, the bath water is ready for you." Fattam, wearing an apron, walked out of the tent and said respectfully.

"I'm coming." Alpha was weak and exhausted. He really needed to rest. Alpha stood up and walked towards the bathroom with heavy steps.

Alpha was lying in a comfortable wooden barrel, and at this moment, all he could think about was his own path of cultivation. Alpha realized that he needed a method that could steadily increase his strength to make up for his shortcomings.

Alpha knew his own shortcomings. Both the shock force and the silent force were explosive skills that could not sustain continuous combat and lacked the ability to fight for a long time. Moreover, Alpha's fighting spirit could not be actively cultivated and could only passively absorb energy, which made his strength increase too slowly. He needed a skill that could make up for these shortcomings so that he could survive better in this world of fighting spirit magic.

While thinking, Alpha gradually fell asleep. In his dream, he saw an ancient temple, in which sat a wise old man. The old man told him about a method called "Light Secret", which can enhance the quality and energy of the body by regulating breathing and body balance, making the body healthier and stronger.

Alpha was deeply attracted by the old man's story in his dream, and he decided to learn this method. However, just as he was about to become his disciple, he was suddenly awakened by an earthquake.

Alpha opened his eyes and found himself lying in a wooden barrel, surrounded by silence. He recalled the dream just now and felt a little regretful.

"Lord Alpha, why did you fall asleep just now?" Fattam's voice sounded again.

"It's okay, I just had a dream." Alpha was thoughtful, and he knew that if you think about something during the day, you will dream about it at night. Originally, Zhang Mo was just a young man in the 21st century, who traveled to this world of fighting magic. If he didn't learn the skills here, how could he justify his journey?

"Lord Alpha, you are not sick, are you?" Fattam touched Alpha's hot forehead worriedly.

"Nothing, I was just distracted for a moment." Alpha hurriedly ended the topic, but he was still thinking about the wonderful dream. Alpha knew that there was no such method in reality, but the feeling in the dream was deeply imprinted in his heart. Maybe one day in the future, he will be able to find a method of practice that is truly suitable for him and use it to move to a higher level.

Alpha decided to put aside his pursuit of martial arts for the time being and began to focus on the problem at hand. He and his knights still needed to fight the bandits in this land.

"Alpha, let me rub your back!" Unexpectedly, Lina also got into the wooden barrel at some point.

"Well, give me a press." Alpha lay on the edge of the barrel, enjoying Lina's service.

"Lord Alpha, it's broad daylight, could you please be a little more reserved?" Rowling also walked in with a blushing face.

"Do you want to give me a massage too?" Alpha was so comfortable that he didn't even want to open his eyes.

"I'll give you a massage, do you dare?"

"What's there to be afraid of? I'm afraid you'll eat me." Alpha joked.

"Then here I come." Rowling took the joke seriously.

"Oh my god, the barrel is too small. You can't wash after coming in." Alpha's attempts to stop her were useless. Rowling had already taken off her clothes and ran in.

"I don't care. It was you who asked me to come in." Rowling was desperate, but did not dare to get too close to Alpha.

……

"Alpha, let's discuss the next bandit suppression plan!" Will and Alpha sat alone in the office to discuss the next plan.

"We just need to continue advancing according to the previous preparations. In the second step, we will advance one hundred kilometers. This area is a plain and the main force of bandits will not appear.

The difficulty lies in the fact that the widest part in the south is 80 kilometers, and we currently have only more than 800 infantry and cavalry in total, which is a serious shortage of manpower.

We don't need too many cavalry at this stage. We will divide our troops into three groups to conduct a dragnet search. We will leave fifty knights in each area as reserve forces, and the rest will go to the front line. "Alpha analyzed the map. The middle area is vast and sparsely populated, and the main force of the bandits cannot hide in the large plains.

"So what is the key point that we need to focus on? Is there any way to advance quickly?" Will didn't want to waste too much time here.

"Because the risk factor during this period is very low, we can mobilize the power of the people as much as possible." Alpha suggested.

"The key point is probably how to distinguish between ordinary people and bandits?" These bandits are bandits above them and ordinary people below them.

"Alpha, what should we do?" Will didn't know what to do.

"Don't differentiate between civilians and bandits, just move them all away," Alpha was also direct.

"Okay, let's try to complete the second phase of the operation in five days." Will seemed optimistic.

"The second stage is not the focus, the key is the third stage. There are two big mountains here, and the main force of the bandits is likely to hide here." Alpha is more concerned about the tasks of the third stage. Although the distance is less than 50 kilometers, the difficulty coefficient is the greatest.

……

"Brother Alpha, my strength has increased recently. Let's have a competition!" Tony's words attracted the attention of many people.

Everyone looked at Alpha and Alice curiously, wondering when they were together.

"Ah, no, it's not my sister. I'm not talking about anyone else. Alpha is my brother-in-law." Tony saw Alice's murderous look and immediately explained, but this instead aroused more people's curiosity and suspicion.

"Let's discuss the second step of the bandit suppression plan!" Alpha did not explain and changed the subject directly.

Tony continued to explain, but Alpha couldn't clear himself even if he jumped into the Yellow River. His reputation was nothing, there were no men here with three wives and four concubines, but it was normal for capable men to have a lot of lovers.

Alpha was fine, but Alice would definitely vent all her anger on Alpha. At the same time, how would she and Linda explain the rumors if they were passed back to her?

"Okay, now let's start planning the second step of the dragnet operation. Everyone, listen carefully." Seeing this, Will took over the topic. Unfortunately, his eyes still glanced at Alpha and Alice from time to time, showing that he was still suspicious.

Alpha did not need to participate in what happened next. He sat up straight and began to wander in space.

Alice looked at Alpha's indifferent look and gritted her teeth in anger, but they were too far apart and she could only kill him with her eyes.

"Captain Alpha, the meeting is over." Tony ran to Alpha and shook him.

"Ah, can we eat now?" Alpha wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth. He just dreamed of a paradise on earth surrounded by delicious food.

"I want to duel with you."
